🖐️🤟 for E I G H T Y E A R S ‼️
EIGHT YEARS. 👏🏋️♂️🙌
Earlier this month, we celebrated our 8 YEAR ANNIVERSARY! To see this community grow in size, strength, friendships and heart over the last eight years has been nothing short of incredible.
Every single day, I see people showing up consistently, stepping outside their comfort zones, doing things they never thought they could do, encouraging one another, high-fiving, hugging, laughing, making friendships and constantly choosing to become better versions of themselves.
Each of you brings something special every time you walk through our doors. It may be a smile, reassurance, encouragement, hope, inspiration or simply being the person standing beside someone when they need it most. That is what makes this place so much more than a gym.
For the first time in eight years, I wasn’t there on our anniversary. I was moving my daughter into college and beginning a pretty big new chapter in our lives. But seeing these pictures of our classes celebrating eight years made my heart so incredibly full!
Because THIS is what we built.
A community that is bigger than one person. A place where people belong, friendships are formed, people are challenged, supported and celebrated, and where we all get the opportunity to become stronger, healthier and better human beings together.
Thank you for trusting me to lead this community and allowing me to share my vision. Thank you for trusting our coaches and our programming to make you stronger, more fit and healthier. Thank you for making our gym fun, welcoming and, for so many of us, a second home.
To my coaches… I couldn’t do this without y’all. Thank you for continually striving to make the time our athletes spend with us the best hour of their day. Thank you for the care you give our people, for believing in our culture and for understanding that what happens inside these walls goes far beyond a workout. The relationships and bonds you’ve created with our athletes mean more than you know.
To my kids… the depth of my love and gratitude for you is indescribable. Thank you for your patience through all the years this dream has required, for your unending support and for always being my loudest cheerleaders. ❤️
Eight years later, I still don’t take any of this for granted.
Thank you for believing in this gym.
Thank you for believing in this incredible community.
And thank you for believing in me.
I am beyond grateful for every single one of you.
Here’s to EIGHT YEARS of CrossFit 3 Strands!!! 🖐️🤟❤️
